We really enjoyed our short time in this unique house, lovely views to enjoy while relaxing on the deck, short walk to the jetty where the kids swam even though it was unusually cold for January. Beautiful beach for swimming and exploring. The house is spacious and quiet.

Peaceful retreat

Beautiful location with privacy. So many birds with fruit trees and flowers. Short walk to the bay and dock area for beach combing and bird watching. Locals were so kind. Full kitchen with great storage. Washing clothes was wonderful with a clothes line and pins. Wonderful breeze with lots of doors and windows to open.
